It may not be as sleek or sexy as its QUANT F stablemate, but nanoFlowcell’s futuristic QUANTiNO has the sophisticated tech to catch your wandering eye.
Let’s run down some quick facts. The QUANTiNO concept, the little brother to the QUANT F and QUANT E electric cars, is a low-voltage EV with four seats, a length of 12.8 feet, 22-inch wheels, and a range of over 621 miles.
The two-door is powered by a 48-volt drive system that houses two 175-liter (46-gallon) ionic fluid tanks, aptly dubbed a nanoFlowcell.
In one tank, the fluid has a positive charge, and in the other, negative. When the fluids are pumped through the cell, a controlled charge of electricity is funneled to four different electric motors that produce approximately 33 horsepower each.
The result is a long range, a top speed of over 124 mph, and another cool (but likely heavy) addition to the EV landscape.
“The QUANTiNO is an electric vehicle for everyone,” said Nunzio La Vecchia, Chief Technical Officer at nanoFlowcell AG. “It is not just a concept vehicle – it will become reality in the course of this year. We will be driving the QUANTiNO in 2015. And we aim to attain approval for road use very quickly.”
The low-voltage layout is what really sets the QUANTiNO apart. Typically used on vehicles like e-scooters and golf carts, the design is much simpler than high-voltage systems because it doesn’t require complete contact and flashover protection.
“In accordance with ECE-R 100, no additional measures to prevent accidental contact are necessary for low-voltage systems,” explains La Vecchia. “This also gives rise to much faster homologation of low-voltage vehicles, as functional safety is more simple to realize.”
The QUANTiNO will make its official debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show March 3rd.
Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.
PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?
Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.
General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
Missing out on the self-driving future is a tough pill to swallow, especially as a car enthusiast. But that is what Tesla handed us on Wednesday, without a hint of mercy.
During its October 21, 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk told investors the Cybercab is meant mainly as a ride service. Further, nearly all of them will be owned and managed by Tesla.
